I assume Pokemon is happening in panel 7? the question is, X or Y?oh wait, this arc started before it was released, which means that isn't temporally possible, unless Housepets universe got it early. dangit, everyone got it before America

We don't really know why though, eh? Never got over his cat bigotry even after Grape rescued him? Or did something else happen later to make him feel that way?

I think it's interesting that only the local group seems to be upset. Bailey, King, Tarot (though she probably already knew), and Duchess don't really seem to care all that much...

Re: 2013/10/30 - Le Gasp

Well, well, it finally comes out, and even the alt text is surprised! Max looks like he’s doing what he indicated, and had no idea that Sabrina was into dogs.

You'll recall Fox doesn't much care for cat-lovers.

I didn't see it coming that Fox would be affected so much as is hinted at, but that makes sense, and this will shake things up around Babylon Gardens. Fox it seems may have some food for thought about some of his social views, a nice development. Grape, Peanut and Tarot don't seem too surprised, we know that they knew (presume it in Tarot's case). Spit takes can be very amusing, and this one had me giggling. Ralph and Miles will probably also have a nice pair of surprise faces, and Jata should have something to say on that, I believe.

wait a minute, why is fox sitting between King and Bailey? I mean, I understand it from a framing point of view, his mind shattering had to be front and center, but in universe it doesn't make much sense. =P

Well, duh . . . the reveal doesn't have to give new information to the audience to be dramatic

He was in the other room when he heard that Fido was on the television. Answered.

That's what made this arc possible, otherwise we'd all have no idea. This has been waiting to come out for awhile it would seem, the results are quite fun to ponder

Fox is a jerk if he gives Fido a hard time about this after what Grape did for him.

I dont think he would be mad because of that, they are really good/close friends, Fox might take it like if Fido didn´t trust him by not telling him ... and that would be a good excuse for giving Fido a hard time ...

Well, duh . . . the reveal doesn't have to give new information to the audience to be dramatic

don't get me wrong, my gasp wasn't sarcastic, it was joking. The reveal is perfectly dramatic, as are the reactions

For those of you who don't know this, Max is drinking Powerade. Replenish those electrolytes Max!

Why was Bino watching the wedding? Why, so he can complain about how cats are so horrible and hideous they even condone shotgun weddings, of course!

D-Rock Wrote:

Wow. Max is shocked, Fox is shocked (and looks downright broken, really), and Bino can finally have something to belittle his older brother about. Peanut, Grape, and Tarot, however, just another show.

Viath Wrote:

I know we all knew this was coming but still... wow. I love seeing everyone's reaction to it.

Complete agreement on all these statements!

Either Rick is not sure if he wants Joel/King and Bailey to be toghether forever, or their marriage went into a crisis way sooner than even I expected!

I think Fox looks betrayed because he never even suspected that such a close friend from childhood who he thought he knew like the palm of his.. pawhand? could hold such an unusual secret!

Having noticed, what's up with Fido's shades in panel one? Did they take a break from being sunglasses?

Those reactions...majesty. Pure majesty.

This is probably one of my favorite moments in the comic's history. Bino's bit killed me.

Who is "he"? King or Fox?

_________________20th century fox? Given that this is the year 2018, that fox must be dead by now. Sadface! : (

We're forced to watch on our Tee-Veesscenes coming from just up the hill.We'd wondered what Sabrina may saybut this is different, for good or ill.

What did he just say? What did he profess?My ears are up and my face is falling.I'm stunned and shaken down to the core(and he's set himself up for a mauling.)

It's great drama for those spectatorschewing corn on their home setteeas his family rants and paranoia raveswhile he tests his corps' loyal esprit.Now he's professed it, where shall they go?Will she intervene or have Jata bury Fido?

Well stated Fido, well stated. All I can say is, any one of the characters give him trouble this (though I'll probably exempt Bino on this one, since I'm pretty sure he will), I'll be a bit sour at them. I dunno, in my opinion, Fido is risking a lot by making such a statement. So he earns a lot more respect from me.

Silly Zealot Wrote:

I think 'he' is referring to Fox, since it looks like King has been on that couch for some time now. At least that's what his posture is telling me.

That goes with this comic strip is this one, because Jata is basically forcing Sabrina into marrying him due to some childish promise! Plus, Jata is being a high-horse punk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6W3UYJbT38

Max: MindblownFox: MindbrokenKing and Bailey: "yeah, about that..."Grape, Peanut, and Tarot: Not a single care was givenI really wonder how Jata will respond to that. I don't think he'd be completely mindblown...Also, "WHAT IS EVEN THIS DOG". I literally laughed out loud when I read that!

Re: 2013/10/30 - Le Gasp

Seventh panel is the best! Come on, pass me the pop corn, this is getting super interesting! Something tells me that the three of them already know what's going to happen next. Tarot you cheater! X3

Hehe, this seems like one of those so typical moments in whatever romantic-comedy movie. But come on, this MUST had to happen sooner or later, there was no other way to reveal this, and I think Rick did it pretty well. He left us with the intrigue for the next strip and at the same time made ​​sure to make it clear that no one besides Fido will intervene in this matter (and that's one of the reasons of the last four panels, I think).

Now I want to see Sabrina's face. Will she be happy or worried?

What I love the most is the punchline. All that build-up of reactions, and Bino starts chewing the scenery with his bragging... only to be knocked down hard. X3 I love it.

Also love everyone's reactions, but I get a kick how Peanut isn't even bothering to look. What would happen if he missed another important detail?

Or Gatorade. But i like to pretend it's a replacement for blood. Because i bet if Max could, he would explode.

Well, taxidermy is basically make mummies. If there are mummies of humans in this world and in our world, I don't see why can't exist mummies of animals.

By the way, I want to believe that if Sabrina falls in the pool Fido is going to be the one who saves her.You know, because I'm starting to think that Dragon will show up and save her at the last moment and then we know how this ends... "or was it?"

Everyone are going to think that all of this was just a dream and everything continues as always.

I love Peanut's expression. He's like "Yeah, I've seen this movie before, you girls are just silly" X3I think Tarot already told him how this is going to end. She's such a spoilsport.
